Pathogenic Process

Pyoderma gangrenosum (PG) is an inflammatory ulcerative neutrophilic dermatosis that can occur following skin trauma. The correct diagnosis is not often made immediately as the condition can mimic an infective appearance. This leads to delays in the appropriate management of high dose steroids. Although debridement can offer aid in resolving lesions, this is contraindicated in the acute phase as this can cause acceleration of the pathogenic process. Biopsy of the lesion does not offer a definitive diagnosis; therefore suspicion must be maintained as the diagnosis is ultimately a clinical one. Any postoperative pustular ulcerative lesion not improving despite antibiotic therapy that also yields negative bacteriological and fungal studies should lead to consideration of this diagnosis. We document the first case of PG developing following intertrochanteric femur fracture fixation using dynamic hip screw.

<p class="abstract"><strong>Background:</strong> Treatment of unstable trochanteric fracture is much more challenging than stable fracture. These fractures require stable fixation to minimize the fracture and implant related complications. Need of this study is to assess the suitable implant for stable fixation of unstable trochanteric fracture with less intra and postoperative complications and good functional outcome.</p><p class="abstract"><strong>Methods:</strong> In this prospective randomized comparative study, 64 patients were distributed into two groups. Group A consisted of patients treated by proximal femoral nail (PFN) (n=32) and group B treated by dynamic hip screw (DHS) (n=32). All the patients were evaluated preoperatively and surgery was done according to the group they were allotted. Post-operative follow up was done at 6 weeks, 3, 6 and 12 months.<strong></strong></p><p class="abstract"><strong>Results:</strong> Average age of the patients in this study was 51.26±10.24 year. In this study patients were followed up for an average of 10.87±2.61 month. The duration of surgery was shorter in PFN group. Weight bearing was earlier in PFN group than DHS group. Mean functional ability score was better in PFN group with significant gain in function earlier as compared to DHS group.</p><strong>Conclusions:</strong> PFN is a better implant for internal fixation of unstable trochanteric fractures which allows early mobilization and has got better functional outcome score in early postoperative period than DHS

Background: Intertrochantric fractures are the most frequently operated fractures and has the highest mortality and morbidity rates. Evaluation functional outcome of helical fixation pfn a2 in proximal femur fracture in elderly Methods: Hospital based prospective randomized comparative study conducted on 30 patients with  Close  stable &unstable intertrochanteric femur fracture. Results: As per HHS, we have found that 76.67% cases (23) under excellent category and 20.00% (6) good and 3.33% (1) fair of HHS. Conclusion: We can conclude that the PROXIMAL FEMORAL NAIL ANTIROTATION2 is after proper training and technique a safe and easy implant option for treatment of complex peritertrochanteric fractures. Keywords: HHS, Femur, fracture

Background: Hip bone fractures are the main cause of concern on a worldwide level. The main two operative techniques involve dynamic hip screw and proximal femoral nail technique. Aim: To compare the dynamic hip screw with proximal femoral nail technique in intertrochanteric femur fracture patients. Study design: Retrospective study Place and duration of study: Department of Orthopaedics, Khyber Teaching Hospital, Peshawar from 1-7-2019 to 30-12- 2021. Methodology: Seventy patients were enrolled and they were divided in two groups; Group 1 patients were operated with dynamic hip screw (DHS) while group 2 patients were operated by proximal femoral nail (PFN) technique. The detailed pre and post-operative clinical information including blood loss, incision size, Harris hip score and rate of complication was documented. Results: The mean age of patients was 58.62±6.71 year with more male patients than females. The Harris hip score of proximal femoral nail technique was better than distal hip screw. The incision length of distal hip screw cases was 7.61±0.89 in comparison to 4.72±0.73 in proximal femoral nail technique cases with a longer duration of surgery and inter-operative blood loss in case of distal hip screw cases. Conclusion: Proximal femoral nail technique is comparatively better than the distal hip screw procedure. Keywords: Proximal femoral nail technique, distal hip screw, Hip fracture
